I think what you want to do is put BOTH paragraphs in a floating sidebar,
and that should do the job.  It's fairly easy, but it has a drawback in that
changes to the text or the font size of the text will mean that you'll have
to resize the sidebar.

Hmm... a text sidebar that is "growable" would be nice, wouldn't it?
